Turn Your Personal Data Into an Interactive Infographic

Want to see an interactive infographic all about you, your online activity and personal interests?

Vizify launched on Thursday a graphical bio service that pulls personal data from all your social networks to create a snapshot of who you are.

The free service analyzes your data and updates across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Foursquare, and displays it creatively on one page, so it can easily be shared with potential employers, clients and even dates.

"We were inspired by Zuckerberg’s Law — yes, that Zuckerberg — which states that the amount of online data about you doubles each year," Vizify co-founder Todd Silverstein told Mashable. "As we began sorting through our own data to make sense of it all, we were struck by how disjointed and overwhelming it was — career history here, tweets there, check-in data everywhere. It didn’t communicate a cohesive story and it was boring."

The team sought to create a platform that focused on visualizing personal data in one place. It spoke with more than 200 people involved in hiring staff for companies and found a desire to get a better feel for what makes candidates tick, based on what is typically not on a resume.

"For job seekers, it's a powerful complement to their job search process, and when paired with a resume, it can really help people stand out and get noticed," Silverstein said. "Instead of scrolling through pages of @mentions or hoping through multiple sites, people can easily see what you're all about on one site."

Vizify also allows you to edit content and organize your page the way you want. You can also set it to private if you don't want others to come across your account while searching on the site.

"We believe that people will soon have more personal content than they will be able to manage manually," Silverstein said. "Many are already struggling to keep up with their various profiles. We're working hard to do the heavy lifting and will update, maintain and preserve the good stuff, while still giving you complete control."

"The concept is that your bio works for you," he added. "You don't have to work for your bio."

Although the site is in invite-only mode right now, Mashable is giving away invites to the first 500 readers to register with the code "Mashable." To sign up, click here.
